The Department of Recreation, Park and Tourism Management at Penn State University is conducting a research study of mountain bikers' opinions and attitudes. Your feedback is important and results of the study may help mountain biking advocates learn how to be more effective. Individual responses will not be reported and all data will be grouped for reporting purposes. It only takes 15 minutes. Thanks!

In Sandy Ridge, OR, the at-risk youth in the WOAPE program have spent countless hours assisting IMBA Trail Solutions and the Bureau of Land Management building the now-famous Flow Country trail system there. In the nearby town of Sandy, WOAPE is developing a cafe and bakery that will teach business and employment skills to local youth. WOAPE has launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise $30,000 for equipment. With only 30 days, the campaign is an "all or nothing" deal. Please consider donating to support the young adults that have done so much for the Sandy Ridge trail system.
